FABRICATOR TEMPLATE PREPARATION
• The die-cut corrugated template supplied by Kindred follows the exact size and shape of the finished
countertop cut-out.
• The cut-out will reveal approximately 3/8" of the mirror finished sink rim.
• We recommend that the corrugated plug template be used to create a female template from 1/2" plywood.
• Scribe a line that is 1/2" offset from the corrugated template onto 1/2" plywood. Cut on this line with a
jig saw. Sand cut-out edge clean and smooth (Figure 1 - Part A).
SINK INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (METHOD TWO)
1. Clamp 1/2" plywood female template on top surface
of countertop, in desired position. This position
will be determined by relationship of sink rim to
cabinet gables, cabinet supporting members, and
deck mounted fittings.
2. Trace edge of template with router guide bushing
and straight cutter bit (Figure 1 - Part B).
3. Finish cut-out with desired router bit (ie. chamfer,
Roman Ogee etc.).
4. Align sink to the cut-out so that a uniform reveal
of approximately 3/8" shows around the periphery
of the cut-out. Clamp the sink in place.
5. Flip the countertop and sink unit so that the sink
is upside down. Outline the edge of the sink rim
with a pencil line.
6. Remove clamps and sink from countertop.
7. Cut sheet of 1/2" plywood to size so that material
will rest on top of sink base cabinet.
8. Position sink upside down on plywood sheet and
trace the outside edge of the sink rim with a pencil.
9. Cut on the outside edge of this pencil line by
approximately 1/16".
10. Drill 1/4" diameter holes in the plywood at an offset
of 1/2" from the cut-out edge. Space the holes
evenly around the cut-out so that there are
approximately two holes for each of the four sides
of the sink (Figures 2 & 3).
11. Drive tee nuts with a hammer into the drilled holes
from the side of the plywood sheet that contacts
the underside of the countertop.
12. Apply dabs of silicone sealant to the same surface of
the plywood sheet.
13. Clamp plywood sheet to underside of countertop
such that cut-out edge of plywood is lined up with
pencil outline for rim (refer to step 5).
14. Make provision to shim balance of countertop (on
either side of sink base cabinet unit) by 1/2",
according to countertop manufacturer's
recommended practice.
